JKP Capital Loan On June 24, 2020, HOF Village and HOFV Hotel II executed a loan evidenced by a promissory note (the “JKP Capital Loan”) in favor of JKP Financial, LLC (“JKP”) for the principal sum of $7,000,000. The JKP Capital Loan bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and matured on December 2, 2021, on which date all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due. The JKP Capital Loan is secured by the membership interests in HOFV Hotel II held by HOF Village. On March 1, 2022, the Company amended the JKP Capital Loan. The Second Amendment to JKP Capital Loan (i) revises the outstanding principal balance of the JKP Capital Loan to include interest that has accrued and has not been paid as of March 1, 2022, and (ii) extends the maturity of the JKP Capital Loan to March 31, 2024, and (iii) amends the JKP Capital Loan to be convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.09 per share, subject to adjustment. The conversion price is subject to a weighted-average antidilution adjustment. As part of the consideration for the Second Amendment to JKP Capital Loan, the Company issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act: (i) 280,000 shares of Common Stock to JKP and (ii) a Series F Warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to JKP. The Company accounted for this transaction as an extinguishment, given that a substantive conversion feature was added to the JKP Capital Loan. The Company recorded the relative fair value of the shares of Common Stock and Series F Warrants as a discount against the JKP Capital Loan. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of Series F Warrants: Term (years) 5.0 Stock price $ 1.01 Exercise price $ 1.09 Dividend yield 0.0 % Expected volatility 51.2 % Risk free interest rate 1.6 % Number of shares 1,000,000 MKG DoubleTree Loan On September 14, 2020, the Company entered into a construction loan agreement with Erie Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of CNB Financial Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation, as lender. The Company has applied and been approved for a first mortgage loan for $15.3 million (“MKG DoubleTree Loan”) with a variable interest rate of 1.75% plus the prime commercial rate, at which no time can it drop below 5%, for the purpose of renovating the McKinley Grand Hotel in the City of Canton, Ohio. The initial maturity date is 18 months after the exercised loan date, March 13, 2022, and the agreement includes an extended maturity date of September 13, 2022, should HOFRE need more time with an extension fee of 0.1% of the then outstanding principal balance. The MKG DoubleTree Loan has certain financial covenants whereby the Company must maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $5,000,000 and minimum liquidity of not less than $2,000,000. These covenants are to be tested annually based upon the financial statements at the end of each fiscal year. On March 1, 2022, HOF Village Hotel II, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an amendment to the MKG DoubleTree Loan with the Company’s director, Stuart Lichter, as guarantor, and ErieBank, a division of CNB Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of CNB Financial Corporation, as lender, which extended the maturity to September 13, 2023. The Company accounted for this amendment as a modification, and expensed approximately $38,000 in loan modification costs. CH Capital Loan (formerly known as Aquarian Mortgage Loan) On December 1, 2020, the Company entered into a mortgage loan (the “Aquarian Mortgage Loan”) with Aquarian Credit Funding, LLC (“Aquarian”), as administrative agent and with Investors Heritage Life Insurance Company and Lincoln Benefit Life Company, as lenders, for $40,000,000 of gross proceeds. The Aquarian Mortgage Loan bears interest at 10% per annum. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, Aquarian may, at its option, take such action, without notice or demand, that Aquarian deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against the Company, including declaring the debt to become immediately due and payable. On August 30, 2021, the Company and Aquarian amended the terms of the Aquarian Mortgage Loan whereby the Company paid $20 million to Lincoln Benefit Life Company. In accordance with such payment, Lincoln Benefit Life Company was removed as a lender and the aggregate principal of the Aquarian Mortgage Loan was reduced to $20 million as of September 30, 2021. The Company and Aquarian also agreed to extend the maturity date of the Aquarian Mortgage Loan to March 31, 2022. On December 15, 2021, the Company repaid approximately $13 million of the Aquarian Mortgage Loan. On March 1, 2022, CH Capital Lending purchased and acquired, the Company’s $7.4 million Aquarian Mortgage Loan (as thereafter amended and acquired by CH Capital Lending, the “CH Capital Loan”). On March 1, 2022, immediately after CH Capital Lending became the lender and administrative agent under the CH Capital Loan, the maturity date of the Term Loan was extended to March 31, 2024. Also under the amendment, the Term Loan was made convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The conversion price is subject to a weighted-average antidilution adjustment. Certain current and historical fees and expenses were added to the principal amount of the CH Capital Loan so that the new principal amount is $8,347,839. The interest rate was increased from 10% to 12%. Of such 12% per annum interest: (i) 8% per annum shall be payable monthly and (ii) 4% per annum shall accumulate and be payable on the maturity date. As part of the consideration for the amendment: (i) the Company issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act: (A) 330,000 shares of Common Stock to CH Capital Lending, and (B) a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (“Series E Warrant”) to CH Capital Lending, (ii) the Company was required to, subject to approval of its board of directors, create a series of preferred stock, to be known as 7.00% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), and, upon the request of CH Capital Lending, exchange each share of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, that is held by CH Capital Lending for one share of Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) the Company and CH Capital Lending amended and restated the Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants that the Company issued to CH Capital Lending. The Series E Warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The exercise price is subject to a weighted-average antidilution adjustment. The Series E Warrants may be exercised from and after March 1, 2023, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Series E Warrants. Unexercised Series E Warrants will expire on March 1, 2027. The Series E Warrants shall be cancelled without any further action on the part of the Company or the holder, in the event that the Company repays in full on or before March 1, 2023, the CH Capital Loan. The Company accounted for this transaction as an extinguishment, given that a substantive conversion feature was added to the CH Capital Loan. The Company recorded the relative fair value of the shares of Common Stock and Series E Warrants as a discount against the CH Capital Loan. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of Series E Warrants: Term (years) 5.0 Stock price $ 1.01 Exercise price $ 1.50 Dividend yield 0.0 % Expected volatility 51.2 % Risk free interest rate 1.6 % Number of shares 1,000,000 IRG Note On November 23, 2021, the Company, and IRG entered into a promissory note (the “IRG Note”) pursuant to which IRG made a loan to the Company in the aggregate amount of $8,500,000. Interest will accrue on the outstanding balance of the Note at a rate of 8% per annum, compounded monthly. The Company will pay interest to IRG under the Note on the first day of each month, in arrears. The Note has a maturity date of June 30, 2022. On March 1, 2022, pursuant to an Assignment of Promissory Note, dated March 1, 2022, IRG assigned (a) a one-half (½) interest in the IRG Note to IRG (the “IRG Split Note”) and (b) a one-half (½) interest in the IRG Note to JKP (the “JKP Split Note”).

The Amended IRG Split Note extended the maturity to March 31, 2024. Under the Amended IRG Split Note, the principal and accrued interest are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The conversion price is subject to a weighted-average antidilution adjustment. The principal amount of the Amended IRG Split Note is $4,273,543. As part of the consideration for the Amended IRG Split Note, the Company issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act: (i) 125,000 shares of Common Stock to IRG, LLC, and (ii) a Series E Warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock to IRG. The Series E Warrants shall be cancelled without any further action on the part of the Company or the holder, in the event that the Company repays in full, on or before March 1, 2023, the Amended IRG Split Note.
